release time. note that since this is beta1, the release dir and stage/media names have been adjusted accordingly. also, the handbooks are marked with a disclaimer=draft, so once the final is out, that will be removed and the release names adjusted. in the mean time, these are live. the beta is officially released. no, it's not april fools, but it is april 1st. :)

for safety's sake, needed to move the conf.d/clock TIMEZONE edit to immediately before compiling a kernel. users still run into the warning message if it's left at the end, before rebooting. fixes http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-560322.html and other reports.

#112802 USE="-doc" when emerging kernel sources to avoid dependencies (until the USE flags are described later in the handbook)
#110596 (PPC only) Add make defconfig before make menuconfig
#110038 cp time zone file instead of symlinking to it

modules-update is only needed for changes in /etc/modules.d/* which we do not do. Changes in /etc/modules.autoload.d are automatically taken into account by /etc/init.d/modules. Thanks for Terry Colligan for reporting
